Leyther_Matt Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Super League - 11/12 Missing: Toulouse (though I have been to both Blagnac and Minimes) Championship - 11/14 Missing: Newcastle (though I did see Gateshead at the International Stadium), Sheffield (seen them at Don Valley, that uni one and Bramall Lane, but not OLP, even in its previous temporary guise), York (been to Huntingdon and Bootham Crescent and will be going to the new gaff in February) League One - 8/11 Missing: Cornwall (will have to save that one for the Challenge Cup!), North Wales Crusaders (though I have seen them at the Racecourse and Cefn Druids, and will be going to Colwyn Bay in the summer to watch Noel Gallagher!), West Wales Raiders (that'll be another for the Challenge Cup). All of the ones I've been to have been watching Leigh, apart from Coventry which was a game against Warrington Wizards in the NL3 days because my mate was refereeing. To my shame, I don't know whether Oldham are at Bower Fold for 2022 or back at Whitebank, but I've been to both (albeit Whitebank was for games v Featherstone and Rochdale rather than watching Leigh). Of the other clubs/grounds no longer existing, I saw Blackpool Panthers (x2 - Bloomfield Road & Memorial Ground), Celtic Crusaders (Brewery Field), Chorley Lynx (Victory Park), Doncaster (Belle Vue), Leigh (Hilton Park), London Broncos (Griffin Park, The Hive, Trailfinders), Oldham (Boundary Park), Salford (The Willows), St Helens (Knowsley Road), Swinton (Gigg Lane, Park Lane), Toronto Wolfpack (Lamport Stadium), Warrington (Wilderspool), Wigan (Central Park) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Halfpenny fan Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Can't see London Skolar's on your list to make 37. I've done 31, missing Toulouse, Bronco's, Cornwall, Midlands, North Wales and West Wales. Done London and Toulouse at different grounds and would have done West wales last year only for lockdown. Just because you think everyone hates you doesn't mean they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonM Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I'm missing 5 now - Cornwall, Midlands (been to Coventry a few times though), West Wales, Toulouse (been to several other grounds there though), Broncos (been to 10+ of their old grounds). Do we count Sheffield as their new ground is on the site of Don Valley? Have Oldham confirmed where they're playing this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield doesn’t count given Don Valley was in a league of its own, albeit one based in Eastern Europe. You can still have Coventry in my book though given they’ve only changed name rather than grounds. Could open up a commercial opportunity though if fans had to return to tick off a ground whenever the name changed. Wakefield, Cas (why is it always those two?!)) I am looking in your direction!

CornwallRL Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Biggest load of carp I have ever heard. Fulham/London whoever, must have had 20 home grounds by now? Atlantisman, you are not showing off to anyone. See you in Penryn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatmichaelsays Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 All of the current Super League ones aside from Toulouse. Batley, Bradford, Featherstone, Dewsbury (does it count if I only went there for a PCR test?), London (The Stoop, Charlton, Trailfinders and Barnet), Widnes, Doncaster (for a semi final), Hunslet and Keighley also on the list.

The name of the ground has never changed, It's always been Belle Vue and still is. The sponsors name changes every now and then but in truth I think that's only happened a bout five time.Your shirt sponsor changes regularely but you are still Leigh. Atlantic Solutions was the first, whilst it was the Mobile Rocket for the last four years I think. I'd guess at three in between over a 20 year period. Truth is when you own your own ground like us and Cas do you can call it what you want, when you rent off the Council restrictions apply. Bit of an own goal for you there.

gogledd Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 29. I've been to watch Toulouse (V Featherstone) but not at the current stadium and thats the only one from Super League I havent been to. In Championship I've not been to London Broncos, Sheffield Eagles (since they moved from Owlerton) or York (since they moved to their new stadium) I've been to all the League 1 grounds except Cornwall (that will be rectified this season) - also Midlands will be playing at a different ground from the Butts Park stadium that Coventry played at the last few year, and I understand that Swinton are playing at a different stadium - which will be at least 3 I've seen them play at.

THE RED ROOSTER Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 All of the NRL Grounds with the exception of the New Townsville stadium though have been to the old one plus games played at Carrara, Redfern Oval, Sydney Showgrounds, Mackay, Gosford, North Harbour (Auckland) and Eden Park etc. All Super League grounds except the French ones - Quelle Surprise.. A lot of former grounds, The Boulevard, Wilderspool, Knowsley Road, Hilton Park, Central Park, The Willows etc Quite a Few Championship clubs but have yet to make any of the Cumbrian clubs, Featherstone, Hunslet or Dewsbury. An elecletic mix of "event" and International venues from Doncaster, Blackburn, Murrayfield, Cardiff Arms Park, Millenium Stadium Cardiff, Olympic Stadium Stratford, Wembley, Old Trafford, Edinburgh Eagles (2000 before the Cup Final), Ayr RUFC (Scotlabd A v France A) , Wrexham FC as just a few And of course when I watched the Broncos, The London nomads would play far and wide such as Bridgend RLFC (away), Leicester Tigers RUFC, Gillingham FC, Leyton Orient FC, Charlton Athletic FC, Esher RUFC, Harlequins RUFC, Barnet FC, Brentford FC and probably a few others I have forgotten.
